Journal ArticleDOI
Chiral doublet structures in odd-odd n = 75 isotones: chiral vibrations.
K. Starosta,Takeshi Koike,C. J. Chiara,D. B. Fossan,D. R. LaFosse,A. A. Hecht,C. W. Beausang,Mark A. Caprio,J. R. Cooper,R. Krücken,J. R. Novak,N. V. Zamfir,K. E. Zyromski,D. J. Hartley,D. L. Balabanski,J. Y. Zhang,S. Frauendorf,V. I. Dimitrov +17 more
TL;DR: Aplanar solutions of 3D tilted axis cranking calculations for triaxial shapes define left- and right-handed chiral systems out of the three angular momenta provided by the valence particles and the core rotation, which leads to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and the doublet bands.
Journal ArticleDOI
B(E2) values in 150Nd and the critical point symmetry X(5).
R. Krücken,B. Albanna,C. Bialik,R. F. Casten,J. R. Cooper,A. Dewald,N. V. Zamfir,N. V. Zamfir,C. J. Barton,C. W. Beausang,Mark A. Caprio,A. A. Hecht,T. Klug,J. R. Novak,Norbert Pietralla,Norbert Pietralla,P. von Brentano +16 more
TL;DR: Very good agreement was observed between the parameter-free (apart from scale) X(5) predictions and the low-spin level scheme of 150Nd, revealing this as the best case thus far for the realization of the X( 5) symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI

102 Pd : An E(5) nucleus?
N. V. Zamfir,N. V. Zamfir,Mark A. Caprio,R. F. Casten,C. J. Barton,C. W. Beausang,Z. Berant,Z. Berant,D. S. Brenner,W.-T. Chou,W.-T. Chou,J. R. Cooper,A. A. Hecht,R. Krücken,H. Newman,H. Newman,J. R. Novak,Norbert Pietralla,A. Wolf,A. Wolf,K. E. Zyromski +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the decay of the Pd in the E(5) critical point symmetry state was studied with high efficiency Ge detectors, and the level scheme of Pd$ was shown to be in good overall agreement with the predictions of the E (5)-critical point symmetry, with the exception of the state of intruder character.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coulomb excitation of the 2 + ms state of 96 Ru in inverse kinematics
Norbert Pietralla,C. J. Barton,R. Krücken,C. W. Beausang,Mark A. Caprio,R. F. Casten,J. R. Cooper,A. A. Hecht,H. Newman,H. Newman,J. R. Novak,N. V. Zamfir,N. V. Zamfir +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Coulomb excitation was used to identify the proton-neutron mixed-symmetry state of the nucleus of this nucleus, based on the measurement of the transition strengths.
